Tag Archives: bleeding brakes

Once you have the vehicle running and moving under its own power you'll surely want to drive it around your property to see what else it needs. The big thing that may kill the fun is the lack of brakes. In my particular case the front brakes were partially seized on and the brake pedal just went to the floor. I decided to completely disassemble the system and show how to go through the brakes on your classic car.....

Normally when I do brake work on a car I dread the moment when I have to ask a friend, family member, neighbor, etc for help pumping the brake pedal. Not everyone gets the same enjoyment out of bleeding brakes and getting a nice firm pedal as we do! It can be a tedious process, especially if the person pumping the pedal makes an error and pumps the pedal with the bleeder screw open, allowing air to be sucked back into the system. This will make you start all over, and cause unneeded extra work.

Once again here at Eastwood we worked to make your life easier when completing an often tedious job. Our new Eastwood Brake Bleeder Kit allows you to bleed your brake system simply and without any help from the wife, kids, neighbor, etc! Our bleeder kit allows you to create a vacuum at the caliper or slave cylinder, and pulls air out of the system. This can be easily done at the bleeder without the need to jump back and forth from the pedal or reservoir to the bleeder screw. We know this isn't a product you may use frequently, so we are offering it at an extremely affordable price. This means it will pay for itself after just one use (just exchanging dinner for a few minutes of pedal pumping from your wife will be more costly!).

This brake bleeding kit compliments all of our other Eastwood Brake Tools, and will make even the toughest brake jobs a breeze!
